Physical Training II

Another reason that I think physical training is good, is that it forces one to take stock of oneself. If you're going to do it right, you need to cast a critical eye at your own capabilities, your own performance, and make a realistic assessment. Then set about improving the areas that are lacking, aiming at the goal.

The same process is applicable to all areas of life. A realistic assessment of the situation as it currently is. A goal to be reached. A plan to get there. A whole lot of energy, determination, and grit.

I think that perhaps in our instant world, the last part is what is missing.
